No challenge, just a merge. Purple buffs
abound. Nothing to see here, move along. Should you be interested

The gist (from SurvivorPhoenix, see link above), excerpted:

"We confirm that the tribes will indeed merge in
Episode 9, bringing to a close the death watch of
the Ravu tribe.

The press photos posted by MeSS poster
anywho show the two tribes arrive separately at Exile
Island for the traditional greet... and cheer of
the merge ceremonies. The players then return to
camp Moto Minus (aka Bula) as one united (?) tribe
with brand new buffs."
